Why the hell is opebo in Thailand?

More bang for your buck.

The post you're all quoting already has been, so...

Mine's gone now

Only Torie and Joe left

Mine's gone now.   I hope that sort of thing does not happen again.

Saying a poster admitting committing a serious felony (seriel felonies), is way, way beyond the pale (assuming as I am confident the case, the poster in question (I don't want to use a name in this post) never admitted having a sexual attraction which he acted upon, of those whom are below the age of consent and indeed, children (prepubescent).

I would suggest an immediate retraction of the statement. It is really quite awful, actually, and bothers me - a lot.

Torie, plenty of people have said or "implied" it here before. Having a thread like this is asking for it. Considering the things he has said you can only come to one conclusion. What opebo does over there bothers me a lot more then what some anonymous poster on the internet says to another anonymous poster.

You posted that there was an admission. That is very different from speculation. Make sense?

In any event, it is BS. The gentleman has no interest in doing children.

Opebo, I want to apologize you on behalf of what I would like to think are the vast majority of Forum posters. What happened was simply wrong. Hopefully it will be forgotten, and we can move on.

[Torie]

Besides you weren't making the disgusting accusations and have nothing to apologize for.

True, but we are a community in many ways, with the sum being greater than the individual parts. I hope posters put themselves in Opebo's shoes in connection with this sort of thing. Taking seriously the Golden Rule is very worthy loadstar to keep in mind, Imo.

Individual conduct is a very different matter than suggested policy prescriptions, States. Yes, Opebo has some rather controversial policy prescriptions (many of which I personally think are ludicrous). Who knew?  In any event, that is the critical difference. Anyway, I just felt a need to say what I did, for better or worse.
